my parents slow me down actually... i live at home and we have a great relationship... i eat dinner with them almost every night, help cook and help mom around the house, etc... i'm forever indebt/grateful to them bc they paid for my car + ins + undergrad tuition + grad tuition and everything else..no rent, dont pay for food, no laundry.. since i'm the baby i guess they want me to stay as long as possible.. with the cost of living in the NJ/NY area, i think i will be staying at least another 3 years til i finish grad school.
anyway, so basically from this, my belief is that i should and must pay my dues and live under their rules and not make them angry since they have done and are doing so much for me and to italians parents, being grateful is living at home and eating dinner with them every night lol. on one hand they are helping me towards my goal by paying for grad school and living costs but on the other hand, they sometimes hamper what i truly want to do.
the only thing they really get mad at me for is 1> my spending habits (i never ask them for money bc i have a good job but i do have a few grand in credit card bills-- nothing big at all but still, i dont save money and living w/ the rents should allow me Not to have more than 1k in cc bills i think) and 2> traveling..i really want to travel more but they want me to save my money and they get mad that i want to go to places like australia (where my dad lived for a long time) and south africa, egypt, nepal, etc... at first i think: i'm 23, i should be able to go where i want. my parents are always worried sick and make me feel guilty when i'm romping around europe or whatever with friends or solo.. 3> relationships i'm sort of in a long distance relationship and they're constantly making me feel uncomfortable/guilty about it because my 1st/previous LD relationship didn't work out (obv.) they think i'm just repeating my mistakes- how can i defend myself? and i know i will have to lock horns with them when i tell i'll be going to deutschland in another month or whenever and i hate to do that bc i hate the drama and i look like an idiot if i say "but this time it's different"...of course it's all the same to them.
so basically i make a lot of "big deal" decisions based on whether they'll be mad at me or not.. sometimes i get mad @ myself bc i want to live my own life and travelling is my favorite thing to do in the whole world...but then i realize that i fuking hate making them uncomfortable or angry and i should obey the parental units til i move out at least.. :/
edit: sorry for making all your eyes bleed.
